We all have things we want out of life, and we’ve all found ourselves frustrated and feeling desperate because nothing we do seems to attract what we want. Even me :)
The amazing rate at which things manifest for me sometimes makes my head swim. Sometimes, I just can’t even believe it.
Then other times, I feel as though things are perpetually out of my reach.
This week was not an out of reach week. This week was a head swimming week. However, the manifestations I’ve brought forth aren’t going to make me rich or happy… well, richER or happiER… well, I consider myself ridiculously abundant already… and they DID all make me VERY happy… So scratch all that. I’m richer and happier. LOL

~ Manifestation Number One ~
Two weeks ago I took my first piano lesson and LOVED it! I knew as soon as I sat down on the bench that I was going to RAWK at it and I felt so…. HIGH at the prospect of learning. I stopped at Walmart on my way home and picked up a cheap, toy keyboard. Just something I could practice on.
The following Wednesday I had lesson number two. After lesson two, I came home and wrote on my Facebook wall that I was LOVING learning to play piano and felt as though I was taking a stand against oatmeal brain.
Yesterday, Saturday… three days after my second piano lesson… my husband’s niece, who lives all the way in Montana, sent me an email asking me if I had room for and would want a piano. I replied that yes I have room for and yes I would LOVE a piano, but it’d have to be free because I don’t have hundreds of dollars I’m willing to spend on it right now.
It IS free and it’s been sitting in her mother-in-law’s empty house for a year. It needs tuned, but I may do with it whatever I want if I can get it out of the house. Considering I have a husband who drives a tilt-bed tow truck, I don’t see relocation being a problem.
I manifested a FREE piano!!! Them bad-boys are EXPENSIVE! I am so THRILLED!!

~ Manifestation Number Two ~
I allowed my fifteen year old son to borrow my camera back in May to take on his field trip to Washington DC. It got broken.
No big deal, shit happens. I’d wanted a new camera anyway, so I did a little research and bought one. The one big thing that I don’t like about my new camera is that it doesn’t have video… only still pics. Normally this would be fine, but I find that when I capture my children’s activities, I often use the video setting because I love getting the whole scene and not just a millisecond in time… So, I wish I had video.
I was just taking pics last week and said out loud, “I really wish I had a camera with video on it. I appreciate being able to take video so much!”
But being that I just spent $100 on a new camera a couple months ago, I couldn’t see how I’d end up with another new camera and had conceded that I’d just have to wait until this camera bit the dust.
Mike came home from doing some running around yesterday morning (Saturday) and first thing through the door, he walked over and set a camera on the table in front of me.
“What would you pay for that at a yard sale?” he asked.
I looked it up online and found for it was on Amazon ranging between $150 and $200. It’s in great shape. Still has all the stickers on it and they’re not even peeling.
“Forty dollars,” I replied.
“How about $20,” he said, “And it has video on it, so why don’t you give me yours to keep in the truck and YOU can take this better one…”
I never told him I wanted a new camera, or that the one I had wasn’t everything I’d wished it’d be. I didn’t want to hear about how I JUST bought this one, bla bla bla… so I’d said nothing. Now, I have a brand new camera (new to me at least) complete with video and it’s valued at about $100 MORE than the one I have. Score!

~ Manifestation Number Three ~
I want to do podcasts. I’ve BEEN wanting to for a little while now but I feel very apprehensive about it. I tried using the voice recorder on my MP3 player to just talk some and get used to the sound of my voice but it’s such a hassle to use, so I gave up on that idea pretty fast and ordered a digital voice recorder this past Tuesday.
After that the thought occurred to me that I could practice by starting a video blog. Not to post online, but just a personal video journal of sorts… again, for practice. I turned on my webcam that’s in my laptop and began talking to the screen.
After a few minutes of mindless blathering, I replayed what I had thus far and found that the mic on my laptop isn’t nearly strong enough to pick up my words unless I’m leaning way up, into it. Total bummer.
I wish I had a microphone to use for this!
A couple days later, I was sitting here talking to Ash and as I was telling her this very story, I was struck by a sudden realization. I got up and ran into my bedroom to where I keep my cheap-ass keyboard. There, snapped right into a hollow spot on the bottom of it was a microphone.
I pulled it out and came back out to my laptop and plugged it in for a test. Works PERFECTLY! I now have a microphone for my podcasts, and it came included with the silly little TOY I bought myself and I didn’t even realize it.

So, as you can see, I’ve had one helluva week in manifestation. I’m really super excited about all of it!
I have to acknowledge the ease with which these things popped into my life. I have to acknowledge the lack of resistance.
As each thing came to mind, I simply gave a brief thought to how much I’d love them and then went about my business. No desperation. No fear or worry (of course who would be afraid or worry about a piano, camera, or microphone) and not even the slightest consideration to what it would be if it didn’t manifest for me… because honestly, I wasn’t trying to manifest them… I was just thinking happy thoughts about them.
I never had the thought, “I’ll try to manifest this for myself..” or any other variation.
Really, the biggest thought I had about each thing was, “That would be so cool. I don’t know how it could happen, but it’d sure be awesome!”
So, with that I’m going to finish up this blog post by saying… “I don’t know how I’ll end up being a muti-millionaire, but it’d sure be awesome!”
Happy Spirit Day! Make it a great week!
